1. Made Bayak Events
Made Bayak was born in 1980 in Tampaksiring, Gianyar Regency, Bali, Indonesia. He completed his studies at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts Denpasar in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia in 2006. His work addresses the human devastation of the Indonesian genocide of 1965-66 and the environmental devastation of the Balinese island's once-pristine environment caused by tourism-driven development and the lack of local awareness of best ecological practices. His methods include activism and social organization, teaching workshops, painting, drawing, sculptural objects, installations, performance art, and music performed with his heavy metal rock band Geeksmile.

Deadline: April 5
Full list of internships:
https://sustainability.uga.edu/get-involved/internships/
Artist-in-Residence
The Artist-in-Residence (AiR) will engage with the Office of Sustainability programs and activities, promote collaboration between disciplines, and give artists an opportunity to explore ideas and develop work related to sustainability. The AiR will spend up to 10 hours each week at the Office of Sustainability in the Chicopee Building, where they will embed in existing sustainability-related programs and develop creative projects that engage the campus and/or community (such as workshops, exhibitions, performances, publications, etc.). The AiR receives support and resources from the Office of Sustainability with guidance from the Social Ecology Lab and Ideas for Creative Exploration. All arts disciplines are encouraged to apply. This internship will last both Fall and Spring semesters.
Reclamation Intern
The purpose of the Reclamation Internship is to foster a culture of repair and reuse at UGA and beyond through intervention in the UGA institutional landfill stream. The intern will make functional items using discarded materials, use those items to communicate and demonstrate the potential of repair and reuse, connect campus stakeholders with available surplus property, and work within the constraints of state regulations. Applicants must have a background as a maker, a drive to learn new hands-on skills, and excellent interpersonal communication skills to interact with a broad variety of UGA tradespeople and other employees.

4. Call for Proposals: 2019 a2ru National Conference
Deadline: April 5
https://www.a2ru.org/events/2019-national-conference/
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) invites proposals for the 2019 a2ru national conference, knowledges: artistic practice as method to take place at the University of Kansas, in Lawrence, Kansas, November 7-9, 2019. The 2019 theme is an invitation to explore modes of knowing, especially as arrived through the discovery of artistic practice. This theme is anchored in, but not limited to, the following questions:
- How do artistic practices map onto other methods of knowledge production?
- If contemporary artists are trained from the outset to be critical of their medium(s), how might this critical reflection inform more discrete disciplines, which often treat academic form as neutral vessels for the delivery of content?
- What can researchers across the arts, sciences, and humanities learn from one another's practices and approaches?
The University of Kansas, host of this year's a2ru conference, aims to infuse the arts into its research culture by advancing interdisciplinary projects across the sciences and humanities. This is accomplished through existing structures, such as the Integrated Arts Research Initiative (IARI) funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation at the Spencer Museum of Art, The Commons, and the Research Excellence Initiative through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The exhibition and dialogue among artists and scholars developed through the IARI colloquium (November 6, 2019) will launch the 2019 a2ru national conference.
a2ru invites proposals for presentations from researchers, artists, field leaders, and other practitioners about arts-integrative research, practice, and curricula that explore the potential of artistic and other practice-led methods for inquiry across disciplines. In an effort to unpack different ways of knowing, proposed sessions will follow a structure that mimics the process of knowledge generation. Proposal formats will include 1) inquiries, 2) lightning talks, and 3) presentations. a2ru encourages proposals that represent diverse backgrounds, pursuits, affiliations, locations, ages, and institutions. This active format invites participants into the collective co-creation of knowledge.

9. Reading: LeAnne Howe and Magdalena Zurawski
Tuesday, April 9 at 7 PM
Cine, 234 W. Hancock Ave.
The Creative Writing Program is proud to present a reading and book talk with professors LeAnne Howe and Magdalena Zurawski. Both professors will read from their latest works and the reading will be followed by a panel discussion curated by professor Andrew Zawacki. This event is free and open to the public.
Professor Howe's latest work is Savage Conversations, published by Coffee House Press. From Publishers Weekly: "Written in the form of a poetically infused play, Howe's illuminating and challenging work draws its dramatic energy from the hanging of 38 members of the Dakota tribe in Mankato, Minn., on Dec. 26, 1862--the largest mass execution in American history--under the order of Abraham Lincoln. The narrative is set primarily in the Bellevue Place Sanitarium in Batavia, Ill., in 1875 and features three characters: Mary Todd Lincoln, whom her son Robert had institutionalized there earlier that year; Savage Indian, a personification of the executed Dakotas and their tribe; and The Rope, an image of the U.S.'s tools of execution. Basing their interactions on Mary's reported delusions of an Indian spirit who mauls her nightly, Howe choreographs an intimate pas de deux between Mary, who excoriates her husband and family for their neglect, and the Savage Indian, a symbol of national guilt and injustice."
Dr. Zurawski's latest work is The Tiniest Muzzle Sings Songs of Freedom, forthcoming from Wave Books. From Wave Books: "Taking readers from suburban carports to wintry Russian novels, from summer tomato gardens to the sublime interiors of presleep thoughts, Magdalena Zurawski's poems anchor the complexities of our interconnected world in the singularity of the human experience. Balancing artistic experimentation with earnest expression, achingly real detail with dazzling prismatic abstraction, humor with frustration, light with dark, she offers a book of great human depth that is to be carried around, opened to anywhere, and encountered."
